Fried Banana

This is one of a very common and popular snack in Indonesia, delicious and healthy snack. We can buy this snack at the street vendor anywhere in Jakarta - capital city of Indonesia or we can make it our selves. Home made is always good. Indonesia has a variety of bananas (....... and you thought a banana was a banana was a banana......, well .... wrong ....), Indonesia has at least 5 kinds of banana but only 2 or 3 kinds make the best of fried bananas. We can fried the bananas with or without batter, they all good and tasty. Only one banana I could find here in Saskatoon similar to the banana I always used to fried, it is Plantain. I said similar because plantain is shorter than Pisang Tanduk, which is a bit longer than plantain, the taste also a bit different too. Plantain or Pisang Tanduk less sweet than regular banana, and even when they ripe the shape remain - not super soft like regular banana.
